Zinc, which is an indispensable trace element in our body, plays a great role in human growth and development, reproductive genetics and so on. If there is a zinc deficiency in the body, you may have a taste failure or anorexia, slow growth and governance of development and other phenomena. So zinc in drinking water is good? Can be used directly? This chapter water quality online monitoring instrument manufacturers to understand the problem of zinc in drinking water together with you.
The main sources of zinc pollution in water are the wastewater discharged by electroplating, metallurgy, pigment and chemical industry. Now that we’re talking about pollution, it’s definitely bad for you. When zinc is 50mg/L in drinking water, it can cause nausea and fainting. When the water contains 10mg/L of zinc, it is cloudy, and when the water contains 5mg/L of zinc, it has metal astringency. When the concentration of zinc in water exceeds 3 to 5mg/L, the water will appear milky, and an oil film will be formed when it is boiled.
Excessive zinc can cause strong irritation to the gastrointestinal tract. After absorption, it is mainly stored in the liver and pancreas. Excessive zinc entering the body through the mouth can cause acute poisoning. The national standard requires that the content of zinc in drinking water should be less than 1.0 mg/l.
How Do You Know If There is too Much Zinc in Your Drinking Water?
Use T8000-Zn total zinc online monitor for real-time monitoring of zinc in water, so as to determine whether the zinc content exceeds the standard! The equipment produced by Hangzhou Mudi Technology uses high-temperature acidification digestion. The samples to be tested are sent to the digestion reaction tank and strong oxidants are added, followed by ultraviolet heating digestion. Under the irradiation of ultraviolet light, various organic interfering substances are rapidly decomposed, while all forms of zinc are uniformly oxidized to divalent zinc, and then the excess oxidants are reacted with reducing agents. After the acidity of the solution is adjusted, the characteristic color developer is added for color reaction. The depth of color is proportional to the total zinc content in the water sample. The absorbance value of the reaction product is measured by photometry, so as to obtain the total zinc content in the water sample. On-line zinc in water analyzer is an instrument for real-time and continuous monitoring of zinc concentration in water of various industries.
